The company is also saying sorry to its employees, according to an internal email obtained by CNET on Thursday. Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky wrote to staffers: "Yesterday I heard from so many of you about how embarrassed and deeply disappointed you were in us. You were right to feel this way."

Chesky has not tweeted about the incident, and the company has not posted any updates on its Facebook page or blog.

Despite the apologies, media members, communicators, and marketers have posted about the PR blunder on social media.
